MP3 Posted January 14, 2007 Share #21  Posted January 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi folks  Does anybody here ever tried or considering the 46mm vented hood for ZM25/28mm Biogon to improve the vf intrusion?  Best Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Hi MP3, Take a look here 28 Summicron - Size vs. 35 Lux ASPH?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pelikan1931 Posted January 14, 2007 Share #22 Â Posted January 14, 2007 i don't think the Zeiss hood can be mounted on Leica? i will be more interested to know if anyone has tested to see if the modern coating is good enough that the hood can be dispensed with. Â the 50 asph summilux is certainly good enough even without the hood. Â the hood thing, it increases the bulk and intrude into viewfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptomsu Posted January 14, 2007 Share #23 Â Posted January 14, 2007 Both are wonderfull lenses, but as a standard lens I love the 1.4/35 ASPH. It gives you a lot of possibilities with just a single lens. Â Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelikan1931 Posted January 14, 2007 Share #24  Posted January 14, 2007 the zeiss fits, but you have to use same tape between the hood and lens mount. for a perfect view, consider the zeiss viewfinder, which has both 25mm and 28mm framelines.

cbretteville Posted January 14, 2007 Share #25 Â Posted January 14, 2007 As you can see from the shots I posted in this thread: http://www.leica-camera-user.com/digital-forum/12611-alternate-35mm-1-4-lux-hood.html I'm using a Heavystar wide angle hood on my 35 'lux. It blocks much less of the VF than the original. If you can use Leica's 35'lux hood on the 38 'cron you shuld be able to use this one too.

pelikan1931 Posted January 14, 2007 Share #28 Â Posted January 14, 2007 Forgive my poor English but what do you mean by 'same tape'? Â Â should be "some tape", to fill the minor gap between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your experience, what tape are you using and as it is not screwed or clipped, will it be easily get loosen and lost by accident?  For the 50 asph, I totally agree with you as I have not use any hood since day 1 and have not discover any flare issue.  Cheers Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to use UV filter instead. If I don't use filter, then I think the hood is a good idea for protection. The current hood for Noctilux and Summilux asph would suggest that Leica thinks hood is really not that necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 14, 2007 Share #32 Â Posted January 14, 2007 Removable hoods like Leica's don't damage filter threads and offer a good protection in case of bump or drop of lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelikan1931 Posted January 14, 2007 Share #33 Â Posted January 14, 2007 ... yes, but the extra length of the hood also increase the chance of hitting/being hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvaubel Posted January 14, 2007 Share #35 Â Posted January 14, 2007 The 28 Summicron and 35 Summilux are pretty much the same diameter and the 28 is 6mm shorter than the 35. It is the 28's hood which spoils things though. Â It's those huge rectangular hoods that spoil the pocketability of the Leica concept, in general. For off axis veiling flare that hoods help control, a small round hood works almost as well. And you can get them on Ebay for $10 or so. Â Another reason to use a hood is to protect that damn IR filter that us M8 users are saddled with. Â Rex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share #36 Â Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks for all the replies, guys. To close the loop... after a heartfelt cringe at the prospect of dropping 8K in the span of 2 weeks - I'm not a rich guy, by any means - I went ahead and placed an order with Tony Rose for a 28 Summicron ASPH. It'll be a few weeks, as he doesn't have one in stock, but I'm very much looking forward to it. Â Thanks for the help in sorting it out...

Just installed it when i got home and looks very promising. i will take a few shots to show this and also were the Leica hood would be. So far i can see a lot more on the frame line. need to check if it vignetts though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
